Black Swan
Black Swan is the new block wargame covering WWII in Europe from 1939 to 1945.
Black Swan is a game for 2-5 players with great solitaire suitability.
As in all other block games, both the Fog of War and Unit strength reduction/increase by rotation drive gameplay in Black Swan, as a player cannot know the identity or the strength of an enemy block until it is revealed in combat.
Black Swan is an historical game with some fixed starting points, but the outcome is completely unpredictable, and despite the historical result, the Axis Side (Germany and Italy) can defeat the Allied Side (France, Great Britain, US and the Soviet Union).
The game components are first class, made in Italy with German concrete wood. The game includes more than 500 game pieces, a 124x86cm heavy cardboard map, players' aid, rule book, two Campaigns and several Scenarios.
Components:
- Laminated Game Box
- Laminated PlayerAids
- Illustrated Rules
- Beautiful Map
- 226 PVC Stickers
- 343 Blocks
